In this week's episode, I talk with My Pal Val! Valory has recaptured her life twice! Once from domestic violence. She escaped that situation, but she battled her weight in the years after she left. She lost 110 pounds, which she said losing the weight saved her life. 

Here are two domestic violence resources: 

The National Domestic Violence Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org/

We also talk about the weight loss journey of one person. First, be proud of who you are, and the body you have. But if are looking for help losing weight, consult your doctor or a dietician. Not all weight loss programs are for all people.
